In the 1980s, China was in the midst of a boom in all kinds of waste, but the development of science and technology was faced with bottlenecks caused by gaps in the scientific and technological team and a lack of talent. Revitalizing education and cultivating a new generation of high-quality innovative talents is the call of the times. It was against this background that the National College Mechanics Competition began to take shape.
At the editorial board meeting of "Mechanics and Practice" held in Hohhot in August 1986, Professor Wu Jike of Peking University suggested holding a university-level mechanics competition, which was unanimously approved. Academician Zheng Zhemin, Chairman of the Chinese Society of Mechanics, listened to the relevant work report and arranged for the "Mechanics and Practice" editorial board (competition organizing committee) to organize the event.
The organizing committee has established two proposition groups. Professor Wu Jike is the leader of the theoretical mechanics and fluid mechanics courses, and Professor Xu Bingye is the leader of the material mechanics and elastic mechanics courses. At the same time, the organizing committee has solicited proposals from relevant experts and scholars across the country. Questions, *** received 58 replies and provided more than 140 questions.
Organization
1. This competition is commissioned by the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education and organized by the Mechanics Basic Course Teaching Guidance Subcommittee of the Mechanics Teaching Guidance Committee of Higher Education Institutions of the Ministry of Education, the Chinese Mechanics Society and Zhou Peiyuan It is co-organized by the Foundation, the Education and Science Popularization Committee of the Chinese Mechanics Society, the Mechanics Societies of various provinces (municipalities) and autonomous regions, and a university, and is entrusted to the editorial board of "Mechanics and Practice" to host it.
2. Competition-related information, including competition registration notice, brochure, winner list, etc., will be published in the magazine "Mechanics and Practice" and the website of the Chinese Society of Mechanics.
3. The competition has a leading group and an organizing committee. The leading group is composed of the Ministry of Education’s Mechanics Basic Course Teaching Guidance Subcommittee, the Chinese Mechanics Society, the Zhou Peiyuan Foundation and the heads of relevant units. It is responsible for the overall arrangement and organization of the competition. Coordination work, the organizing committee is specifically responsible for the mobilization, registration, competition proctoring and awarding of competitions.
4. The sub-leading groups and sub-organizing committees of the competition are organized and established by the mechanics societies of the provinces (cities) and autonomous regions that assist in the competition activities.
